Also a majority of Americans are fucking straight up dumb and not engaged in politics or news at all. Last study I saw Americans average a 6th grade reading level. What this looks like in practice though is:

• Can read: Straightforward, informational text like food labels, bills, and basic news articles.
• Can understand: Stories with plots, character changes, and a clear point of view.
• Likely needs help with: Texts that use a high degree of academic vocabulary, complex sentence structures, or highly abstract concepts, as found in high school or college-level material.

So until the Dems can also narrow and dumb down their messaging they won’t gain ground. It’s why when Walz called them weird it worked so well because everyone understands that.

What?! It’s supposed to arrive the same time as the DOGE check though?!

Ah yes Cornell with an endowment size of $11.8b needs all the federal funding…how ever would they survive without it.
